Country Programme Document

Country Programme Document for Angola (2005 - 2008)

Introduction  

1.        The previous Country Cooperation Framework (CCF) with UNDP was formulated in wartime, with all the associated uncertainties. It therefore focused essentially on emergency and humanitarian assistance. Following the signature of the peace agreement in April 2002, the main concern was to foster the peace and reconciliation process to set the country on the path towards transition to medium and long-term sustainable human development and achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

2.        The country programme document is formulated on the basis of the Government’s post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction programme, its baseline MDG/NEPAD Report 2003, and its Estrategia de Combate à Pobreza (ECP/PRSP) covering 2004 to 2007, to be found at http://www.angola.org/. The United Nations system has accompanied this process with the formulation of the United Nations Common Country Assessment (CCA), Angola: Post-war challenges and the United Nations development assistance framework (UNDAF) for the period 2005-2008.

Three United Nations organizations in Angola – UNDP, UNICEF and UNFPA – have harmonized their programme cycles with the period covered by the UNDAF. The formulation of the present country programme document has involved the UNDP country office in Angola and its partners, the Government of Angola, other United Nations organizations, the donor community, civil society organizations and private sector units.
